For the 12th consecutive year, Aliko Dangote, President of the pan-African Conglomerate, the Dangote Group has emerged the richest man in Africa.

This is despite economic headwinds that affected the fortunes of half of the world’s billionaires.
Dangote, whose business flagship, Dangote Cement Plc is the largest producer of cement in Africa, is the only Nigerian in the list of first 200 richest men in the world with an estimated net worth of $14.2 billion, up from last year’s $12.1 billion.

Forbes, in its latest ranking of world billionaires for 2023 reported that falling stocks, wounded unicorns and rising interest rates translated into a down year for the world’s wealthiest people.
Dangote, presently ranked 124th among the world’s richest billionaires, is the only Nigerian in the top 200 world billionaires and one of the two Africans within that bracket; with South Africa’s Johann Rupert, who deals in luxury goods ranked 157th with a net worth of $11.1 billion.

The Africa’s richest man founded and chairs Dangote Cement, the continent’s largest cement producer.
Dangote Cement has production capacity of 51.6 million tonnes per year across ten countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with integrated factories in seven countries, a clinker grinding plant in Cameroon, and import and distribution facilities in Ghana and Sierra Leone.

Dangote also owns stakes in publicly traded Dangote Salt (NASCON) and Dangote Sugar manufacturing companies. His Dangote Petroleum Refinery, touted to be the world’s largest single-train refinery, was recently commissioned and is expected to process 650,000 bpd of petroleum for domestic consumption and export; in what experts have described as a game changer in the oil and gas sector.
The foremost philanthropist had earlier been rated 11th of the 50 World’ Greatest men and women of all time by Fortune Magazine, an American multinational business magazine which premised the ranking of the world’s greatest mainly on the businesses run by the men and how they have used it to impact their society positively.

Poverty capital of the world?
Which country is that?

Thought he was displaced by a South-African recently .

I see myself overtaking dangote to become the richest man in Africa before the end of this year.

This I have seen.

Nigeria my country. Money wey millions of people suppose share one person go pack am for himself. The black man's greed should be studied as a course in the university. No wonder david cameron said we are fantastically corrupt

Nice

For those chanting Dangote is from the poverty capital of the world, Nigeria is not the poverty capital of the world. Simple Google search will enlighten you guys, just get rid of the hatred you are harbouring for Nigeria. We may not be where we should be, but certainly the country will progress positively, may be slower but we will progress as a nation, lastly as a citizen, what effort are you making in your small capacity to make Nigeria a better place?

Nigeria Quota System Billionaire.

Bola Tinubu --- Presidency
Wole Soyinka --- Nobel Laurette
Aliko Dangote --- Richest man in Africa

They all have one thing in common. If they are not from a particular region, it must be due to cheating, quota system or rigging.

This is not a good mindset.

He was overtaken by a South African last time so he made it back up again congrats

Congratulations

How did they come up with that stats seff

Milking Nigerians for more than a decade.

IF DANGOTE DONATES THAT REFINERY TO NIGERIA, WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

WILL HE DIE?

Some Nigerian pastors are way more Richer than dangote when you remove the money government has invested in the company,and that's why it's dangote group of companies.



Pastors are private entities with so many branches of satellites church which helps in generating wealth

May God bless MKO Abiola. I was a young boy in a small primary school located in a remote part of Nigeria. Our school needed funds for various projects.

Then we heard that MKO Abiola had generously donated 10 million Naira (several decades ago).

My issue with Dangote is that he should do more. Instead of just giving money, he should select five individuals from each state every five years and provide them with training in the business world.

Being great doesn't mean being friends with all the presidents. It means having a lot of money and being able to connect with ordinary people easily, even by the roadside.

Dangote should establish a team dedicated to humanitarian and philanthropic assistance.Despite his foundation. A lot of people are "talking" ............

But he should stop overwhelming us with his billions of dollars. When he passes away, all that will remain are white cloth and sand covering him. He should be generous now and teach people how to become self-sufficient instead of just giving them things.

Story.

I would rather my full village be comfortable than one man richer than a region where 30percent are in IDP camps.

TUEh

okay

Just imagine if Dangote is an Igbo man. These loud-mouth empty barrel IPOB retards would have been chest beating like Gorrilas

How did they come up with that stats seff

Very easy....EU election reports..Before I thought it was only school matters you could sleep with a babe ontop ordinary indomie...

Life no balance

How’s this news even impacting a common Nigerian
